Pros

Great environment for learning. Support for training and internal support learning new technologies is outstanding.

Cons

Very much a consensus driven decision making process. Often needed due to complex nature of solutions being developed and with each level of approval serving as the accountability needed for complex decision making since very few are experts in all areas.

Pros

I think the best part is to know the other expert in telecommunication fields, share knowledge among them. Off course, working for such big company can make our resume more "pretty". The colleagues there are quite open and willing to share knowledge and help each other. The company develop high tech telecoms devices and we can participate in this field.

Cons

Unfortunately, as a non German working in Ericsson Germany could be hard, since it is quite clear for the us that they only want to recruit German employees, and even they recruit non German, it must be female. In order to make the company more multi-cultural and more international they recruit foreign part time student. Full time employees are always German (98%).

Pros

One of the best companies in Telecom industry; strategies made by the company are really good; working environment and culture is quite nice toward all employees. Have chance to learn lots of up-to-date technologies, access to tons of good documents.

Cons

Too many people stay within the company for too long, not very active, competence not up-to-date, still try to live in good old dates back in 90s, and probably you will become one of them very soon; Company is changing, lots of things are unclear, sometimes, many people work hard to make things happend but pull in different directions; Too many processes;
